Nanotech Filter Coating to Offer Promise Against COVID-19

Listen to this article below: A physics professor from the University of Houston has developed a nanotech coating designed to allow air filters to capture airborne or aerosolized droplets of the virus that causes COVID-19. The coating works by capturing liquids which encase virus particles while still allowing air to flow through unimpeded. That allows ventilation systems to remove the virus during normal operation, without retrofitting or … Continue reading Nanotech Filter Coating to Offer Promise Against COVID-19

Anti-viral copper coatings to help slow transmission of COVID-19

A U of T Engineering team is developing a new way to coat minute particles of copper onto the inside of fabrics, such as those used in face masks. The technology could provide an additional layer of safety to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The goal is to deposit very fine copper particles onto both woven and non-woven fabrics using twin-wire arc (TWA) spray … Continue reading Anti-viral copper coatings to help slow transmission of COVID-19
